SilverWT Posted January 6, 2015 Author Share Posted January 6, 2015 Would like to do one some time. The 6th of May is "some time", so what's stopping you These days seem to get booked up a long way in advance, which is why we are having to wait until May Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fuchs915 Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 I might join you. I have a credit from one I couldn't do in the summer. Should have the old girl back on the road by then. Kevin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beaky Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 Booked , been looking for an excuse to do this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fuchs915 Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 So, I won't be joining you then It's a good day, my mate enjoyed it, other than at the end when the instructor hooned around in his car for a bit. I have their DVD if anyone wants to borrow it before going on the day. Have fun chaps Kevin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkJ Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 Well done SP and Beaky, should be a great IB day with just 4 similar cars there and means hopefully everything they teach us on the day is relevant to our cars characteristics Unlucky Kevin. As Silver says, shame we have to wait until May ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ab54666 Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 You'll have a great day, but as earlier post, prepare to ruin a set of tyres, if I did it again i'd take my spare wheels as to be honest last time I was probably erring on the side of illegal/dangerous driving home.

Fuchs915 Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 Diito the above I can barely read this through the tears...I am sure I'll be able to forgive you one day, just not today If you want to borrow the DVD, no problem, you can have it after Shirish has finished with it.

jevvy Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 If you want to borrow the DVD, no problem, you can have it after Shirish has finished with it. Sounds dodgy! Hope you guys have fun.

SilverWT Posted January 7, 2015 Author Share Posted January 7, 2015 Good to see a lot of interest, I hope it is a good sign for other IB events in 2015. If more people are interested in a "fun", less strenuous (on car and driver!) version Car Limits do group events which could make a good IB day out...http://www.carlimits.com/script/viewEvents.php?type=airfieldactivity&month=20150401They are for 25 cars at £49 each, the first available one would be 19th June, then 3rd July, 7th & 28th August and 11th September.Is it worth posting this up as an event? Are we likely to get 25 participants?Thoughts?Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R2D2 Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 Sounds dodgy! Hope you guys have fun. I wonder if a wet or dry day is preferred? Tyres will certainly prefer a dry day!

MarkJ Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 i'd prefer a dry day so I can learn proper techniques at speed without the extra wet factor, ala drive like Chris Harris!. Then i'd like to do the same day again in the wet! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SP72 Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 Looks like I can't attend this now due to work commitments - unsure if I can hand over my provisional booking to another IBer or not? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkJ Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 that's a big shame Shirish. I am really looking forward to this day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ALEX P Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 Had a quick skim through the first page and see Kevin missed out first time around so surely he must have first dibs. If he passes then I'm quite tempted SP, what's the deal with this? Is it a 4 man day thingie? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fuchs915 Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 What a gent, Alex. I am not sure mine will be back on the road by then, so dib away. I might pop along for a watch and some pax action as I am off that day. Cheers KJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
